These politicians need to take their own words to heart. I am tired of them drafting the youth and those are risk into their messaging while doing nothing. Wonderful speech.

The youth do all they can in their capacity, but what result do we get if our higher ups are reluctant to invest in our innovative ideas. Well done Elizabeth👍
